Vaping Toolkit
This electronic toolkit has been developed to support you as an educator in having open and honest conversations with your students about vaping. The toolkit is designed in a way that provides options to choose activities that are suitable for your students. There are also PDF handouts that can be shared with students and parents or caregivers to further promote informed decision-making around vaping. We will be updating this page as more information becomes available and as more resources are developed.
Please contact the School Health Promotion Team if you have any questions, feedback, or would like more support or guidance.
